The Tiverton Town Band recently sent a raiding party over the border
into Cornwall to win a fist full of prizes at the Truro Contest.
Contesting has not been on the agenda for our Band, but we travelled to Truro
at the weekend for the Cornwall Brass Band Association 53rd annual
championships.
After many weeks of intense rehearsals, all the players thoroughly enjoyed the
day, coming home with FIVE trophies.
First place
Conducted by Gilly Taylor, the band entered the ungraded section and was placed
first by adjudicator Philip Harper for their performance of 'Anglian Dances'.
The band wanted to measure their abilities against graded bands and so chose to
play the same piece in the Fourth Section competition and were ecstatic when
they were awarded first place again.

Later in the day, in the open entertainment section the band were up against
Cornwall’s best and they came away with third place.
Generous applause
As the last band on stage, the hall was filling in anticipation of the results
and led to generous applause at the end of the programme. They were also awarded
the trophy for the highest placed ungraded band in the entertainment section.
